The muzzle of the gun was caught in a roll by three to five pitch black vines and was yanked out of Lu Shangjin’s hand. 

Bi Ruijing took the sniper rifle in his hand and pointed the muzzle at Lu Shangjin’s collarbones, pushing him hard, “Shut up, shut your eyes, take two breaths to catch your breath and then talk to me.”

Lu Shangjin didn’t do so. His hands hung helplessly by his sides; clenching his teeth and loosening up a little, his gums hurt. His eyes were red and swollen. 

 “He only has one week left.” A thin layer of sweat seeped from Lu Shangjin’s forehead as he asked hoarsely, “Who would save him if I don’t?”

Xia Jingtian interjected at the right time, “What about his parents? They might match his glandular type.”

At the mention of Yan Yi’s parents, Lu Shangjin’s clenched fists loosened weakly.

“He doesn’t have parents. He is just an experimental subject produced by cloning and differentiation of lop-eared rabbit cells.”

Under the command of Lu Lin, the PBB lab mass-produced living fighting machines and screened out the strong from the batches of failed experiments, abbreviated as a Pyramid Scheme. 

When Lu Shangjin was ten years old, he mistakenly entered the underground laboratory of the old Lu family residence. 

At a glance, he recognized the little rabbit who was eavesdropping outside the piano room.

The lab was filled with a pungent, fishy stench. The little rabbit trembled as he climbed down from the mountain of cloned experimental corpses, his body stained with blood. Eyes quivering in fear, he extended his hands towards Lu Shangjin. 

Lu Shangjin ran to pick him up and carried the young lop-eared rabbit out of the bloody laboratory, not minding the dirty, smelly blood on his body as he squeezed him under a blanket. He huddled together with the little rabbit, their heads covered, only then did they remember that they were afraid. 

The two children trembled in each other’s arms, not daring to make a sound as they cried, tears running down their faces silently in the dark. 

He was three years older than the little rabbit. Forcing himself to appear like an older brother, he caressed Yan Yi’s shrinking body with his small hands, “I got your back.”

Yan Yi squeezed desperately into Lu Shangjin’s arms, crying with hiccups as he said thank you gege repeatedly. His thin, weak arms wrapped tightly around him, as though grabbing onto him was like grabbing onto the sun. 

“The underground freezer at PBB has a high-grade stem cell bank. All PBB members above the M2 grade have been sampled.” Lu Shangjin clutched the muzzle of the gun, his dry and cracked lips opened and closed, “Help me take care of Yan Yi for a few days.”

Bi Ruijing and Xia Pingtian were both members of PBB and had serial numbers on their bodies. Invading the base without permission would be automatically stamped as a defection, and their serial numbers would enter the assassination elimination blacklist. 

Xia Jingtian raised his chin slightly, as if deep in thought.

Dr. Zhong came over to let Lu Shangjin leave his contact information so he could contact him to visit when the patient’s condition was stable. 

Lu Shangjin spent an hour outside the ICU and asked for a pen and paper to write seven notes, dated for the next seven days. He folded them up and gave them to his assistant. If Yan Yi didn’t wake up, then read one to him every day.
